--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Shivaay's Room*
(Naa Shivika's room)
Shivaay was sitting beside Anika and carenessing her hair while she was already in her dream land. He was in deep thought.

Shivaay(thinking) : Who made such a video? I never forced Anika like this. Then how come? Only once I had forced her that is during our first marriage. But how did OmRu get that video? Only Khanna was with me that day other than me and Anika. I need to find it out. (feels Anika stirring up)
Anika(murmuring) : Leave me please.... I am scared of darkness... Please leave me....
Shivaay(trying to calm her down) : Anika.... Calm down.... Calm down.....

He held her hand tightly and carenessed her hair. She slowly calmed down and went to sleep while holding his hand in hers. He tried to remove his hand from her grip but it tightened more. Without any option he sat beside her.

Shivaay(thinking): Anika again got a nightmare. I can't leave her alone. But I need to find out who was behind the video fiasco. Khanna....

He called Khanna immediately. He reached within no time.

Shivaay: Khanna, when I and Anika had got married for the first time in the outskirts of the city. Did you make any video by any chance?
Khanna: Yes, sir I had made it. Why?
Shivaay(stunned): What video you had made?
Khanna: Of the marriage.
Shivaay: Before that when I.... I was blackmailing Anika for the marraige?
Khanna: No Sir I didn't make any video of it.
Shivaay: Then how did the video of the blackmailing come home?
(his phone rang) Unknown number who it can be?

*Phone conversation *
Shivaay: Hello....
Other side(os): Congratulations for your wedding Mr. Oberoi.
Shivaay(shocked): You?
Os: Recognize me? Of course you will after all I am your.....
Shivaay(shouted): Shut up.... Just shut up..... How dare you call me?
Os(laughs): How dare I? .... You have hurt me a lot..... I am your....
Shivaay(controlling his anger) : What do you want?
Os: Nothing..... Just some advice.....
Shivaay: What advice......
Os: But before that I need some....
Shivaay (angry) : You money minded Man.....
Os: Aare.... Why are getting angry? I am just being your well wisher.....
Shivaay: I don't need your advices.... And you will get what you want.....

*Phone conversation ends*

Shivaay threw the phone in anger which shattered into pieces. Breaking sound made Anika wake up. She woke up abruptly. He sensed her and looked back. Seeing her fearful eyes, calmed him down.

Shivaay(soft voice) : What happened Anika?
Anika: Did you break something?
Shivaay: Yaa... Just the phone....
Anika: Why? Did something happen?
Shivaay: Nothing just some office stress. You don't need to get worried.
Anika: Are you sure?
Shivaay : Hundred percent sure. You take rest. In the evening, there is reception.

She nodded. He was about to leave the room when he turned and went back to her. She looked at him innocently. He dipped and dropped a kiss on her forehead. She closed her eyes momentarily to feel it. Finally he left the room leaving her in her bubble.

*Evening*
*Shivika's room *
Priyanka and Soumya were helping Anika getting ready. She was looking so beautiful in a green sari with golden border. (the one she wore in the show) She was feeling so scared.

*Anika's POV*
Today, the whole world will come to know about me as Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife. I don't know what my life will become after this. The first time, when we had got married, he didn't acknowledge the fact but now he himself is doing so much.... I'm very scared.....

*POV ends *

Dadi walks into the room and dismissed the girls. She saw Anika's restlessness and fear.

Dadi: Anika.....
Anika: Dadi.... When did you come?
Dadi: Aare wah, meri bahu toh bahut sunder laag rehi hai.... Kisi ki nazar na laage.....

Anika bowed down and took her blessings.

Dadi(taking her hands in hers) : Anika, I know many things are disturbing you. But I will tell you only thing.... Never let this family break..... Whatever happens always stay beside Billu and have faith in him..... I know he is a bit arrogant and angry man type... But my Billu has gone through so many hurdles that he has forgotten what is Love. The Billu you see isn't the original one. He has locked himself and is showing this side to everyone. I know you will be the only one to break his hard shell and bring my old Billu back. You will do it naa?
Anika: I will try my level best Dadi..... That I can bring your old Billu back..... And I promise you one thing Dadi...... I will never leave Shivaay alone.... I will always there beside him.... Always.....

Dadi felt peace hearing her. She hugged Anika showing her gratitude.

Dadi(thinking): I have to tell Anika everything related Billu.... Before she comes to know about it from someone else..... And I am sure that she will never leave Billu.......

*Hall*

Media......
Businessman......
High class guests......

Not a single thing was making her calm..... Rather it was making her more restless..... Seeing her alone , Mrs. Kapoor went towards her.

Mrs. Kapoor: So you are the girl, who married Shivaay. Did you even see yourself? You can never match with Shivaay.... Never..... See you and see him.... Not a pair at all.... I am just thinking the amount of insult Shivaay will be facing today in front of the world.

She left her words hanging in the air and went away seeing that it is effecting Anika. Pinky saw everything from darkness and smirked.

Pinky: What did you think that I let you be my Son's wife... No never.... Now see, how you yourself will leave the party and in order to save the family reputation Shivaay will declare Tia as his wife.....

And as she had thought, Anika left the hall. Pinky was the happiest person seeing her plan work.

Tia: Wow, what a plan Pinky Mom.
Pinky: Now Shivaay will be forced to declare you as his wife.
Tia(hugging her) : Thanks Pinky Mom....
Pinky: Aww, mera baccha.... Anything for you and Shivaay.

*After sometime *
Shivaay was meeting some businessman when, his brothers came and stood beside him. Shivaay was prelaxed seeing them beside him but kept mum in front of others. When the talks ended, Shivaay turned towards them.

Shivaay: OmRu.... Any problem?
Om: There was a problem but now it is all sorted out.
Rudra: Yes, everything is sorted out.
Shivaay(confused): What are you talking about?
Rudra: Kuch nehi bhaiya....
Om: Just think that everything is well managed. And.... (looking at Rudra) We are sorry.....
Shivaay : Sorry?
Rudra: Yes, bhaiya. We shouldn't have behaved with you like that.... And I shouldn't have talked with you like that.....
Om: Sorry Shivaay.... Very sorry....
Shivaay: Aare, why are you both asking sorry.  You haven't reacted indifferently. If I would have been in your place, then I would have also reacted the same way.  I was hurt at one point but.....
Om(patting his shoulder) : It's past. Let's forget everything.
Rudra: Yes, bhaiya..... And waise bhi, I am happy that you married Anika didi... No Anika bhabi and not Lady Baba.
Om: Duffer, you always had problem with Tia.
Rudra: You also had. Accept it?
Om: Okay fine I had. But.....
Shivaay: Okay cut it guys. It's my reception party today.
Rudra: Haa bhaiya. Let's rock it.

ShivOmRu laughed and had a Obro hug. Everything was witnessed by a pair of eyes and had a satisfied expression on the face.

—*—

Time was flying quite quickly. Media was waiting anxiously for one look of Mrs. Oberoi. And finally their wait was over. Shivaay walked towards the centre of the hall and the lights were dimmed with only one light focusing on him and giving it a romantic ambiance.

Shivaay: Good evening... Ladies and gentlemen..... First of all I welcome you all to my reception party. As you all know that I got hitched yesterday but none of you had the privilege to see my betterhalf..... So I have organised this special party for all my clients and friends..... (everyone claps) Now..... I introduce you all to my better half..... My wife... Mrs. Shivaay Singh Oberoi.....

He forwarded his hand to the crowd. Everyone turned towards the direction to see only darkness. People started whispering when no-one came up. Taking this as the opportunity, Pinky nudjed Tia to go forward and hold Shivaay's hand. Tia walked forward but no-one was able to see her. With a huge smile on her face, she was about to place her hand on Shivaay's..... When a hand slipped into his right in front of her eyes. She looked at source of the hand only to witness darkness..... Feeling the soft hand of her on his, Shivaay held it tightly. He, slowly pulled her towards him.

Cladded in bright red lehenga.... The Lady walked towards him still keeping her face unreveled. Her back was being showed to everyone and made everyone curious.... She walked towards him and whispered something.

Shivaay: My wife is very sorry for being late for the party..... Because her brother had come from bording school and she had lost her track of time.
Guest: It's totally fine Mrs Oberoi.... We can understand your feelings.
Shivaay : Absolutely right Mrs. Kumar. So ladies and gentlemen.... My betterhalf... My wife.... (turning her towards the people) Mrs. Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi.....

Anika turned towards the crowd and flashes of camera started working on them. Seeing that made her flinched. She held onto his hand tightly. He slowly slipped his hand around her waist and held her protectively. She shivered under his touch but kept herself composed.

Shivaay(whispering to her) : My choice isn't bad after all.... The lehenga is suiting you quite well... You are looking beautiful.....

The Only thing, she could do was to blush and maintain her sanity because his words as well as his hot breaths were causing havoc within her.

M1: Mr. Oberoi, a couple photo please.
Shivaay: Sure....

He gave a small formal smile while she gave a nervous one.

Click!

G2: One couple dance is must. What do you say people?
Everyone: Yes..... Absolutely.....

The atmosphere was already romantic and the perfect song was played for the couple. Shivaay turned Anika towards him and kept one hand on her waist while the other one was in his other hand.

Dekha hazaro dafa aapko
Phir bekarari kaisi hai
Sambhale sambhalta nahi yeh dil
Kuch pyaar mein baat aisi hai

Lekar ijazat ab aap se
Saansein yeh aati jati hain
Dhoondhe se milte nahi hai hum
Bas aap hi aap baki hain
(Music)

Shivaay : What took you so long?
Anika(stammering with head down) : I... I.... Was.....
Shivaay(soft voice) : Scared? Nervous? That is the reason why you left the hall before. (seeing her shocked face) don't be shocked.... I have my eyes on your each and every activity.... By the way Thanks... For making OmRu understand.... I thought....

(Music change)
Shivaay twirled her away from him and pulls her while spinning her..... She landed safely in his embrace in a back hug.....

Pal bhar na doori sahe aap se
Betabiyan yeh kuch aur hain
Hum door ho ke bhi paas hain
Nazdeekiyan yeh kuch aur hain

Dekha hazaro dafaa aapko
Phir bekarari kaisi hai
Sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
Kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai

Anika : OmRu can never think wrong or bad about you. They were disappointed with your act that's it.
Shivaay: Still Thank you for whatever you did for me.
Anika : I want to ask you something and please answer me sincerely.
Shivaay: Ask....
Anika: Why did you marry me when there were so many other girls in the party yesterday? I don't even have naam khoon khandan... I don't know who are my parents. You went against your ideologies and married me. Why?

(Music changes.... Shivaay picked her up by the waist and took a turn.....and held her by the waist again.... )

Aagosh mein hain jo aapki
Aisa sukun aur paaye kahaan
Aankhein hamein raas aa gayi
Ab hum yahaan se jaaye kahan

Dekha hazaron dafa aapko
Phir bekarari kaisi hai
Sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
Kuch pyaar mein baat aisi hai

Phir bekarari kaisi hai
Kuch pyaar mein baat aisi hai

Shivaay(whispers): Somethings aren't meant to be known.... When time comes you will get to know by yourself.... But just remember one thing..... I don't care about your past..... What matters to me is our present and future..... And regarding marrying you.... You were already my wife..... You are not only my responsibility..... But my need..... Without you I am non-functional...... Noor ho tum meri...... Cara......

Everyone clapped bringing the couple out of their bubble. Anika was stunned hearing him. She looked into his eyes to see any loopholes regarding this feelings but......

Anika(low voice) : Cara..... What does that mean?
Shivaay: Your nickname.... And it means..... Let it be.... You don't need to know......
Anika: But.....
Rudra(interrupting them) : Bhaiya Bhabi what a romantic performance.... Mind blowing....
Om: Seriously... It was awesome...  By the way, Shivaay when did you get this lehenga?
Shivaay: Woh.... Woh..... In the morning, when I went out for some work.
Anika(whispers to Shivaay) : Thank you so much..... It is very beautiful.
Shivaay(whispers back) : You don't need to be....

They were lost in each others eyes and forgot the world. OmRu saw everything and smiled.

Om: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Rudra: How will I know what are you thinking?
Om: Duffer.... Look at them. See how they are lost in each others eyes. Accept it or not, both of them will fall in love soon.... Very soon.
Dadi(coming near them) : There is no doubt in it. Seeing Billu's emotions towards Anika I was absolutely sure that they will fall in love eventually and very soon.

Time seemed to have stopped for them and they were still in their own dreamland. While on the other hand, Tia was burning in anger seeing them so close.

Tia: I was very close to hold Shivaay's hand.  I don't know from where that Anika came. She wasn't even there in the party.
Pinky: Exactly.... How come she is here?
Mrs. Kapoor: I guess someone brought her here forcefully.
Pinky(raged voice) : Just see, how is she sticking onto my son. And those jewels..... Oh my maata those are diamonds. But how did she get those? I guess.... I need to talk to Shivaay before it's too late.

Pinky walked away leaving the daughter and mother alone.

Mrs. Kapoor: We can't expect anything from Mrs. Oberoi. We need to find a way out.
Tia: How about I call Him here and.....
Mrs. Kapoor: Good idea. Let's see who saves you Anika...... And Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, you have done a big mistake in marrying Anika and rejecting Tia.  You have to pay for this.......

They smiled evily.

Shivaay: Where is Sahil?
Anika: In the guest room.
Shivaay: Why guest room? I have made a room for him.
Anika(shocked): A room for Sahil? Are you kidding?
Shivaay: Why would I be kidding? Of course I have a made a separate room for him as he would be coming here quite often to stay with us.
Anika(tears in eyes) : Thank you.
Shivaay: Why are you crying Anika? I didn't mean to hurt you.
Anika: These are happiness tears Shivaay.  I am so happy today. Finally my brother's wish will get fulfilled that is only because of you. Thank you so much.
Shivaay(holding her hands in his) : Like OmRu, Sahil is also my brother. And for him, I will do everything that is possible. Now stop crying.

Anika wiped her tears and smiled a bit which he reciprocated with a small smile too.
Pinky saw and heard everything. She deliberately gained their attention.

Pinky: Ahem...
Shivaay: Yes, Mom. Do you need anything?
Pinky: Now can't I even talk with my son?
Shivaay: Nothing like that mom.
Pinky : Just came to see how you are enjoying with your wife. By the way Anika, why did take such a long time to come? Were you scared?
Anika: Actually.... Auntyji woh....
Shivaay: I had only sent her back to the room to change her dress. That's why she became late.
Pinky : Oh... I see. Waise.... This necklace is good. Is it diamond?
Shivaay: Yes, Mom.  I bought it for Anika. Isn't it beautiful?
Pinky: You never bought anything for your mother.... And suddenly you started getting things for her.
Shivaay: Of course.... Because she is my wife....

Pinky felt insulted and went away. Anika remained quite during the whole time. She was trying to understand what was exactly happenings between them.

Shivaay: Anika.... Why did you go silent?
Anika: Nothing.
Shivaay: Aacha... Sahil isn't comimg for the party?
Anika: No... How can I? I don't want to embarrass you in front of everyone.
Shivaay(holds her hands) : Anika.... Sahil is your brother so is mine. And how can he embarrass me? Just because, he is physically challenged doesn't mean that he can't attend the function. Wait I will go and get him.
Anika: Shivaay.... Please. He doesn't want to come.
Shivaay: Then I will definitely bring him. Just wait.

Shivaay went towards the guest room to get Sahil while Anika stayed back watching the person in daze.

Anika(thinking): You are very weird Shivaay. Sometimes you amaze me with your sweet behavior and sometimes make me think with your bad behavior.  I don't know what you are actually..... I just want to know you..... What you really are....

*Guest room*
Shivaay peeped into the room and saw Sahil sitting on the bed with a sulken face. He fake coughed to gain his attention.

Shivaay: Ahem.... Ahem.....
Sahil : SSO?
Shivaay: Can I come in?
Sahil: Why are you asking me. You can come any moment.
Shivaay(walking inside) : I know... But you see.... The party downstairs is Your sister's reception party and you are sitting here in the room all dull and gloomy.
Sahil: Then what else should I do? I can't go down like this. It will embarrass your image.
Shivaay: Sahil.... Remember one thing... Never in my life you or Anika can embarrass me.... Anika is my wife and you are her brother which means my brother too. ..... Okay?
Sahil: SSO can I ask you something?
Shivaay: Sure.....
Sahil: Why did you marry my Anika didi..... Again?
Shivaay(sighed): I don't know why I feel so connected to Her. When she is not with me I feel alone.... Suffocated... It's like she is my oxygen..... She is very much important for me.....
Sahil: You love her SSO......
Shivaay: I don't believe in that...
Sahil: But whatever you said clearly shows that you love my Anika didi. Then why are you not accepting it?
Shivaay: Its... Just that.... I don't believe in ishq..... Or love..... Leave all these now and get ready. Your sister is waiting for us.

Sahil nodded and went to get dressed leaving Shivaay in thoughts.

Shivaay(thinking): What have you done to me..... Cara...... I can't even stay away from you for a minute..... (sighed) I need to settle everything fast so that I live peacefully with Cara......

*Somewhere *
"Anika..... I am coming back Darling..... Be ready.... "

Precap: Shivaay and Tia in a room..... Drunk..... What will happen next? Will Anika be able to save Shivaay?
